The selection of available podcasts is really good and it's free to use so I won't complain much. The big issues are bugs not being fixed. If you download a podcast show then remove that channel, the whole player stops working. I've refreshed repeatedly. I've opened and closed the app for things to just keep spinning. it's essentially frozen and doesn't let you play anything or see new episodes.

this started out as a great app, however the queue no longer will continue to play at the end of a podcast and the ads are so ridiculous that the pods will not play over them and you can't close them. I have adjusted my settings so many times. as soon as my queue gets emptied out I'm closing this out and getting a new podcast player **in response it's not the read ads in the pods, it's the ads that pop up when I open your app.

The ads that get thrown on your screen in this app use all of the deceptive tricks to hide the exit button, throw you to links you had no intention of clicking on and prevent your back button from functioning. It cheapens the feel of the entire app, which is actually a decent podcast player. I don't mind intermittent ads for a free product, but this is different, these are malicious, they are deceptive and they make the whole package feel like a pile of 💩.
